Raptors' Ed Davis up to coach's challenge

ďEdís been taking advantage of an opportunity but I met with him (on the off-day Monday) and I challenged him. I didnít think he brought it against Oklahoma City. I thought he could have brought it more, competed harder, banged harder, got to the boards harder. A lot of things. His screens, taking some of the shots he had,Ē Casey said.

Having spent as much time with Davis as he did in the off-season, Casey knows exactly how best to push Davisí buttons. Earlier this season he issued a similar challenge to Davis and like this time, shared it publicly.

Davis responded with the kind of basketball Casey knew he was capable of playing.

ďItís not going to really affect me either way,Ē Davis said. ďYou and I both know that íDrea is the franchise player on this team. Whatever role I am in, Iím just going to take advantage of it. Iím not going to complain either way. Just go about it so whatever that might be when he comes back whether itís coming off the bench or starting, itís going to be cool. I just want to help the team win.Ē

I'm still not sold. He looks lost on offense unless he's running a pick and roll and can't defend the low post. Great rebounder and help defender though. Needs to develop a right hand because right now he might as well tie it behind his back. Never seen him use it. Would like it if he was packaged with Calderon in a deal for gay.
